There are two types of student at Stern College for Women; The rah rah type and the bed-to-class-to-library-to-home-type. Neither one is better than the other, it’s just a personality thing.
A lot of students at Yeshiva University are here with a goal; to get in and get out. With professionalism and impressive futures on their minds, they are not interested in extracurricular activities, club fairs and Shabbat on campus.
Conversely, I bring you the girl who loves school. The girl who does anything she can to get involved on campus, even if it means wearing Stern apparel every single day. This is the girl who responds to every sstud, attends every event whether it applies to her or not, is on every club roster and stays in for Shabbat every. single. week.
What are the benefits of one or the other? Send in your answers to scwoncall@gmail.com and see your name in the next edition of the Observer! Some questions to consider:
- What does “the college experience” mean to you?
- What was/is your personal goal for college?
- If faced with the choice of sleeping in your own bed for Shabbat to catch up on a week’s worth of sleep or stay in school at the most incredible Shabbaton ever, which would you choose?
- Is there anything you would change about your years on campus thus far?
